Section 4 Hull Girder Strength


401. General


1. Requirements for longitudinal and transverse hull girder strength are given in this section. In addi- tion, buckling control may be required.


2. For the craft types and sizes mentioned in Ch 2, Sec 4, longitudinal strength has to be checked.


3. For large, complicated crafts, such as multihull types, a complete, 3-dimensional global analysis of the transverse strength, in combination with longitudinal stress, is to be carried out.


4. Buckling strength in the bottom and deck is to be inspected.


402. Deck corners

Moulded deck line, rounded sheer strake, sheer strake and stringer plate are defined in Fig 3.3.3.

406. Transverse strength of twin hull craft


1. Transverse strength

(1) The twinhull connecting structure is to have adequate transverse strength related to the design loads and moments in Ch 2.

(2) When calculating the moment of inertia and section modulus of the longitudinal section of the

connecting structure, the effective sectional area of transverse strength members is in general the net area with effective flange after deduction of the openings. The effective shear area of trans- verse strength members is in general the net area after deduction of the openings.

2. Allowable stresses

When the calculating the strength of twinhulls, applied in loads, and defined in Ch 2, 402, the al- lowable stress are to be followed.

(1) Normal stress : N mm

(2) Mean shear stress :

N mm

(3) Equivalent stress :

Equivalent stress is defined as following formula :


total normal stress in x-direction.

: total normal stress in y-direction.

total shear stress in xy-plane.

Total stress means the arithmetic sum of stresses from hull girder, local forces and

moments.

: as defined in 501. Par 3.


407. Buckling strength

The strength deck or side plating is to be endured the buckling strength subject to hull girder bending stress.
